Col. Green, protector Of the Shore Line
Railway, has been in Camden to examine the
route and give estimates of the cost OF con-
s'ructing the Rockland & Camden railroad.
AT a town meeting in Hartland. Tuesday,
1t was voted to sell half the towns stock in
the Sebastieook II Moosehead at par, and to
bond the remainder. The annual meeting Of
the railroad corporation was held the same
day, and the same officers were elected
throughout. Manager Mitchell is hard at
work to secure the necessary funds to push
the road through to the lake.
The new round top ears that have lately
been added to the regular express trains to
Bar HarbOr are proving very popular on ac-
count Of the improved ventilation they afford.
1t Is said that the new roof Is the invention
Of woman at the request Of manufacturer
of cars.
Complaint having been made that the Bos
ton Il Maine take of more coupons from
1000 mile tickets than actual miles travelled
by the official schedule, the railroad commits
sioners decide that the road has no right III
do so.
The Boston Il Mount Desert limited ex-
press has been such a success that the Pull-

Receipts of MackereI.

The receipts of mackerel the past week
have been about the smallest Of the season.
At outports only 1862 barrels were landed, of
which not ore barrel was credited to Glou-
cester The total New England catch to
date is 1881 barrels against 1888 barrels the
same time last year and S5,l63 barrels in
1885. The weather has been unfavorable
for fishing operations on this coast and in
the North Bay. and it is doubtful if there are
any large fares to arrive. No mack
erel of any consequence are reported
along the Maine coast or in the Bay Of Fundy.
Most Of the feet are either in the North
Bay or going there. AT last accounts the
Provincial fishermen we're doing well in their
small boats, but the American seiners were
not able to make any hauls, as the fish kept
in close to the shore. There are large bodies
Of mackerel, however, in the North Bay, and
with favorable weather the fish will strike
out into deep water and our fishermen may
have an opportunity to Gil up. This is now
their main hope, as the season so far has
been failure ON this coast.
